-

Jalen Hurts scored the winning touchdown on a quarterbac­k draw with 2:37 left in overtime, and the Philadelph­ia Eagles beat the Buffalo Bills 37-34 on a cold, rainy Sunday.

Hurts threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more, and he outdueled Buffalo's Josh Allen while rallying the Eagles from a 17-7 halftime deficit for the second straight game.

Philadelph­ia's Jake Elliott tied the game with a 59-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining. After the Bills went ahead with a field goal on the first possession of OT, Hurts ran virtually untouched for the 12-yard score that made the Eagles the only 10-1 team in the NFL.

Allen threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two scores for the Bills (6-5), who are in danger of missing the playoffs after winning the AFC East the past three years. But he was intercepte­d in the fourth quarter by James Bradbury, setting up Hurts' 29-yard TD pass to Olamide Zaccheaus for a 28-24 Philly lead.
